Dioptric Correction
Leica macroscopes are parfocally matched. A
prerequisite for this the correct setting of the
diopters. The following adjustments only have
to be carried out once by each user.
Therefore, all Leica eyepieces are also available
with built-in dioptric correction, allowing the
macroscope to be used without glasses even
by those with vision problems. The correction
comprises ±5 diopter settings.
Leica Z6 APO A / Z16 APO A
Using the Dioptric Correction
1. Set the dioptric correction of both eyepi-
eces to the mid position ("0" diopter
settings).
2. Look through the eyepieces and focus on a
flat specimen.
3. Rotate both eyepieces to the maximum
value of "+5".
4. Hold one eye closed and rotate the other
eyepiece in the "-" direction until the speci-
men appears sharp.
5. Then, open the other eye and correct the
diopter settings until the image is uniformly
sharp.
6. Select the highest magnification and refo-
cus if necessary.
User Manual
Now, if you adjust the magnification from the
lowest to the highest level, the specimen is
always brought into sharp focus. If not, repeat
the process.
The system is now parfocally matched to your
eyes.
